Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of an investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers
in such workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers’
firm to a foreign country in the production of articles
or supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers’ firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers’ firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers’ firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers’ separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on August 24, 2015 on behalf of workers of CyOptics, Inc.,
a subsidiary of Avago Technologies Limited, Breinigsville,
Pennsylvania (CyOptics). The workers’ firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of optical components such as
chips, lasers and receivers. The subject worker group (CyOptics-
Laser Package Department), however, is limited to workers who
are/were part of the laser package unit.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Aerotek, Express Employment and Manpower.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in CyOptics-Laser Package Department
have become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of a(n) article
like or directly competitive with the laser packages produced by
the subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at CyOptics-Laser Package Department.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CyOptics, Inc., a
subsidiary of Avago Technologies Limited, Laser Package
Department, including on-site leased workers from Aerotek,
Express Employment and Manpower, Breinigsville, Pennsylvania, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of laser
packages, meet the worker group certification criteria under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with
Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following
certification:
“All workers of CyOptics, Inc., a subsidiary of Avago
Technologies Limited, Laser Package Department, including
on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Express Employment and
Manpower, Breinigsville, Pennsylvania, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 21,
2015 through two years from the date of certification, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
through two years from the date of certification, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2
of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.”
